ml350 g5 power down after hard drive installation

Hello,

I have a ML350 G5 server with this problem:

After I connected a new HardDrive at the Raid controller (array works well, logical partitions also), the server power off and to make it start again, I must unplug the power ord. The frontal LED are in this situation: power= green, internal and external leds= flashing red: ethernet led= off

It happens mostly in the night, when backups of data are operative

may it be the power supply? I have installad only one power supply, the 379123-001(1000w)

Maybe a thermal shutdown? Addition of the new hard drive might have bumped up the internal temps of some part of your system past the threshold. Especially if it happens when disk activity is high (during backups, you mentioned).

Check the management log to see if it reported thermal warnings/alerts. Or any other reason why the system shut down. IML is your friend. :)
